Following today's Mainnet AMA we wanted to share a Testnet update!

🛠️ Since launching Axelar’s testnet last year, we’ve had just over 1000 participants on the network, onboarded 90 validators, and iterated through 5 exercises. A huge thank you to all who contributed to the development of the network, by testing, building and helping contribute to our documentation!

‼️ As we roll out Axelar’s mainnet, for now we're pausing the incentives for all exercises on the testnet until further notice. The signup forms will also remain closed. In the interim, the team is focusing on mainnet, and iterating through testnet with the help of our validator community. We will have more announcements regarding the testnet exercises and their status at a later date, after the mainnet rollout is complete.

📍 In the meantime, here are a few testnet resources for anyone who wants to learn more:

Look through our Axelar Github: https://github.com/axelarnetwork/

Read through our Docs website, which includes instructions on how to spin up a node and more (currently for the testnet, but it will be updated for mainnet): https://docs.axelar.dev/#/

‼️PLEASE NOTE: As we’ve stated, the testnet is still running, and the exercises are available to work through, however the incentivized aspect is paused and available support is limited as we roll out mainnet. The documentation however is open for everyone to look through.

⚙️ The testnet will remain in development as a playground for new members of our community. Until we have sufficient resources to maintain it however, support for it will be limited.

🦾 That being said, if you're a builder and want to get access to the testnet to build out things like multi-chain wallets, cross-chain explorers, bridging applications and more, fill out this form:

https://axelar.knack.com/axelar-forms#ecosystem-dev-details/

and the team will review your application!
Tomorrow, January 13th at 11am ET we’re going live for an AMA with Terra!

We wanted to share an update from the community program!

🦾 With over 12,300 applications in total and over 10,000 coming in since late last week we’re still working hard to evaluate them all!

✍️ Since the team double checks every single submission for originality & quality and follows all the links submitted, we wanted to do it right and take the extra time to properly evaluate your hard work so we didn’t miss anything!

🤟 We appreciate your patience and the announcements will go out to those moving onto phase 2 tomorrow!
We are excited to announce that all participants moving onto phase 2 of Axelar’s Quantum Community Program have been notified!

We’ve reached out over Discord directly, over email, or over Telegram with instructions for next steps.

With almost 13,000 applications it was certainly no easy task to choose those accepted into phase 2. A huge thank you to everyone who submitted to the program and who created original content!

We also learned a lot during this program. There’s a huge amount of excitement about Axelar, so know that just because you didn’t make it onto phase 2 this time, doesn’t mean there won’t be more opportunities to get involved, and doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate your efforts!

We’ll be offering things like a form for those interested in joining the team as moderators to apply through, and as the Axelar Academy is meant to be continually expanding, we will be offering more ongoing opportunities to have your resources featured there moving forward!

We also now have some awesome artists on board to design things like community NFTs… so stay tuned 👀
For anyone who hasn’t heard yet, 🛰 Satellite has launched!

🔗 Satellite is Axelar’s decentralized, cross-chain asset transfer app allowing users to transfer assets they hold on a source chain to an address on a different destination chain!

📍Read the full announcement post here: https://bit.ly/33R02Fi

🛰 Try out satellite here: https://satellite.axelar.network/

And ask your questions in the #satellite-bridge-support channel on Axelar’s discord for all troubleshooting issues!
That being said, here’s what you need to know before trying it out:

🛰 Satellite (Beta) FAQs:

* Do you have any tutorials on how to use Satellite? *
    Text: https://shorturl.at/dtDY8
    Video: https://shorturl.at/cjsxX
 
* I have my assets in the Terra station wallet. How can I bridge them to other chains? *
 
As of now, Keplr is the only wallet supported by Satellite from Terra. Integration with other wallets is in progress. Until then, you can transfer your assets to a Keplr wallet and use Satellite with them.
 
* Can I move non-Axelar Wrapped UST / LUNA via Satellite? *
 
No. Satellite supports moving of Axelar Wrapped Assets only. Before you deposit your tokens to the deposit address, please verify that you’re using the correct token contract. If you send a non-Axelar wrapped asset to the deposit address, it will be lost.
See https://docs.axelar.dev/#/resources/mainnet-releases for a list of token contracts supported by Satellite on the mainnet.
 
* Can I move non-Axelar Wrapped ERC-20 UST from Ethereum (or other chains) via Satellite? *
 
No. Satellite supports moving of Axelar Wrapped Assets only. Before you deposit your tokens to the deposit address, please verify that you’re using the correct token contract. If you send a non-Axelar wrapped asset to the deposit address, it will be lost.
See https://docs.axelar.dev/#/resources/mainnet-releases for a list of token contracts supported by Satellite on the mainnet.
 
* Can I use Ledger with Keplr to send my assets? *
 
Not at this moment. We’re actively investigating this problem and hope to resolve it as soon as possible. You can transfer your assets to a non-ledger Keplr wallet until then if you want to try the app.

* How can I ask for help? If your asset doesn’t arrive after sufficient time has passed (15-30 minutes for all chains, except Ethereum, where transactions are triggered at 30m+ intervals), then: *
a) Confirm that your transaction on the source chain went through via the corresponding explorer.
b) Confirm that you sent the assets to the Axelar-generated deposit address.
c) Confirm that you’ve sent the tokens to the desired destination chain & added the token contract to your metamask wallet (https://docs.axelar.dev/#/resources/mainnet-releases). Try searching your transaction in the destination chain’s explorer based on your destination address.
 
If you still can’t find it, copy the Trace ID & the destination address & your transaction on the source chain and post in the #satellite-bridge-support channel on discord.
